The public procurement process initiated by Sheffield City Council involves the hiring of various types of vehicles, including passenger cars, LCVs, minibuses, 4x4s, commercial vehicles, and HGVs. This process falls under the industry category of motor vehicles. Currently in the planning stage, the procurement seeks to establish contracts scheduled to commence on 20th November 2025 and conclude on 19th November 2029. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically involving an award under an existing framework with a total estimated gross value of £3,600,000.
